Nice!This carb look big!how much cfm?
750
Yesterday went to my dads house along with my neighbor. We pulled the motor and installed all the parts to install the 5 speed trams. Everything went on good and is all in the truck.
Thanks to everybody who chimed in and helped.
Now to take care of all the wiring. I want to get rid of all the extra wiring to declutter the engine bay.
Took some time and cleaned up the engine and installed the carb and intake.

Now I need some help with these two wires. I think the red with black goes the starter solenoid correct me if I'm wrong. What does the purple wire go to. It has a non stock connection on it.

Red=always hot on the big nut of the starter
Purple=hot when starting on the small nut of the starter

If you see on both pics you'll see I bought new 2 gauge battery to starter wire and ground wire. Does the small black and red wire go with the purple wire on the small nut of the starter? Or does it go on the big nut?
I don't know for the small black and red wire...but I'm sure you know it but usually red are + and black ground.You are supposed to have only the purple wire on the small starter nut and only to big wire that go direct form + on the batterie to the big nut on the starter.
Yes sir I do!
The black and red wire is coming from the junction box on the fire wall if that helps any.
I went ahead a put the black and red wire to positive on battery and my truck came alive. Everything works as far as lights, dash, and windows. So this wire needs to have constant power.
Been a while.
With work and buying a new house i had not done anything to the truck.
I just recently got settled in and move the truck from my dads house to my new house.
I got it to fire for a couple seconds with the fuel that was in the fuel bowls of the carb. I was nervous about that.
So now to get it going right.
Took the rear brakes apart to clean them up and found a leaking brake cylinder. Ill be working on that and marked where im going to cut for the notch.
Mounted the wheels to see if there would be any clearance issues. Everything looks good even with truck weight on suspension

So i got the motor running and now just need to finish up the engine bay as far as hoses misc wiring etc...
What do i do about the alternator?
From a little reading i found that i dont need to use the original brown wire from the truck. What is suggested is to run a 12v switched wire to pin "B" on the newer alternator.
Is this what works the best?
I went ahead and managed to get the original alternator on there. Problem solved.
I got the belt, tensioner, hoses and fans in there last night. I also made my own harness for the fans and "custom" hold down brackets for the LS1 fans.
First thing i did was if the A/C worked, living in Houston its a must. After 2 years of sitting there it still blows cold. The compressor is cycling on and off so it may need some freon but cold none the less. I hooked up the fans to the green A/C wire but they would cut off so i hooked them up to the black wire and nothing. I was tired and didn't even check any further.
What A/C wire did yall use?
Being happy that the A/C was working i didn't even check the to see if the voltage gauge was working.
Today is another day.
Any updates?
Still at it.
I left my job due to difference in opinions on safety issues and was off for about 6 weeks waiting on a particular job i wanted. Well i go the job and have settles in. I have once again changed my mind and took off the carb set up and went to a stock truck intake. I have a friend of mine getting the wire harness set up for me and picking up the Walbro 255 fuel pump today.
I still have to figure out what the hell is going on with the rear u-joint. I took the old one off and took with me to the parts store. I got one that is an exact match to the naked eye but the differences must be very, very small because the cups will not stay on the drive shaft. Its just not right. I have to look into it more or just find a used drive shaft with a u-joint already installed.
I also installed the c-notches and she is sitting right now.
Been long enough and need to get her on the road!!
Congrats on the new job. And keep at it on the truck.
